Lin and Mraz at Golden Melody Award in June 2014

 I've known JJ Lin since I was at college. It was almost ten years ago. And at that time, mandarin pop was so booming, from boyband F4, girlband like SHE until solo singer like JJ Lin. I just knew a few of his songs that time, but it still stuck in my heart. His sweet smile and light voice just made me fall in love. And suddenly, his voice just get into my head again this day. I start to update his MV on youtube. And OMG, he still exist until now. He even have collaboration with vocalist of CNBLUE, Jung Yonghwa. Korean rock song mix with mandarin pop, titled "Checkmate", what a fresh new sound! 

Lin's baby face still make my heart in a crush like before (despite he is over thirty right now). And when I found this song on youtube, I got amazed of how Lin's hard work make him more shining time by time. It was proved by this collaboration with Jason Mraz called " I am alive". This song is super touching in lyrics and give the listener a spirit to not give up on your dream.

Thumbs up for JJ Lin, and hope you readers, enjoy his song too..

DREAM should always be BIG
Because you start out BIG

And you work SMALL
Day By Day
Step By Step
